At dinner the other night, our host spotted a well-priced magnum of fizz on the list and beckoned the sommelier. Alas, it turned out the magnums were no more, the last one having been sold two nights previously.
‘Oh dear,’ sighed my chum. ‘I guess we’d better have it by the half-magnum, then, and see how we get on.’
Well, it won’t surprise you to learn that we got on just fine and ended up having two half-magnums.
Crisp, clean, creamy and toasty with an elegantly fine mousse and the most stylish of finishes
The fact is that magnums are a real treat, the ideal size for wine lovers, especially at this time of year with parties galore and friends dropping by unexpectedly. So it is that Corney & Barrow here offer a couple of great-value examples which I heartily endorse. And for those who prefer their wines in half-magnums, we’ve some of those too, including some excellent fizz.
